Following Tokyo, Seoul, Jakarta and Los Angeles, the highly-anticipated immersive K-pop exhibit D’Festa was launched in the Philippines in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig.

D’Festa is produced by Korean media outlet Dispatch to mark its 10th anniversary.

The exhibit showcases some of the biggest names in K-pop–BTS, TWICE, Seventeen, NCT 127, NCT Dream, ENHYPEN, Tomorrow X Together and Stray Kids.

Located across two floors of One Bonifacio High Street, D’Festa features 63 artists from the K-pop groups from start to finish in ways that will engage every sense and take every visitor on a highly interactive journey.

Every ticket holder is entitled to an BGC-exclusive freebie consisting of a random artist photocard and ID sling. Guests are also immediately treated to a life-sized poster upon entry, housing the images of all artists from all featured groups to kickstart one’s D’Festa walkthrough.

Inside the exhibition, fans can catch never-before-seen portraits of their favorite K-pop idols.

Korea-based Filipino global group HORI7ON graced the launch of D'Festa on Dec. 18.

D’Festa also contains the very heart and soul of the artists themselves through exhibit zones they directly contributed to. From a giant autograph wall, their personal doodles and notes, to portraits painted collectively by each group, everyone is guaranteed to feel traces of their favorites’ love and support as they travel from Seoul all the way to Manila.

Guests will not only be witness to an original film that weaves together colorful stories from all eight K-pop groups, but also have an idea of what it’s like to share the stage with their idols with a virtual stage.

Complementing the full D’FESTA experience are more activities from a conceptual photozone to a message wall. The merch store awaits everyone as they conclude their D’Festa journey, home to many exciting pieces of exclusive merch and souvenirs that every fan would not want to miss out on.

D’Festa at BGC, Taguig will run from Dec. 20 to March 19 next year at the third and fourth floors of One Bonifacio High Street.

Tickets are available at www.dfestaph.com.
